The silence has me worried.
Hope I'm wrong.
Did you get ahold a vet? If not i would get a moist medical gauze square and use breathable medi tape to tape it around the gauze and his shell so he can move around more comfortably & the area will be protected from dirt etc ... Poor lil guy.. I hope hes okay!
Pretty sure it’s a hernia. I don’t think it will close on its own. Find a vet that KNOWS tortoises

Seems like people always come to get advice--often during emergencies--and then disappear, never to be heard from again.
Not polite or smart. What happens when they need help again....people's time & advice is invaluable, especially when you're passing it forward.Seems like people always come to get advice--often during emergencies--and then disappear, never to be heard from again.
I think sometimes shame plays a part. Either because they already feel it, or because they think it will be inflicted on them. I try to err on the side of compassion.Not polite or smart.
